TORONTO, Dec. 24 /CNW/ - In holiday greetings to our Christian friends, Moshe Ronen, chair of the Canada-Israel Committee, said:

"At this holy time on the Christian calendar, we extend our good wishes to all who celebrate the birth of Jesus.

In that spirit, we call for a renewed sense of tolerance and mutual respect by all for all."
